Michael Foucault

Foucault dug into the past investigating historical documents to question what is in familiar in the present ,The present order of things was thus made visible by accessing it from the past ,by viewing how it has been made through processes of social development .He did this through processes of social development ,through reading texts and documents to find traces of the present .In doing so he found a way of exploring his concerns about social life from a political and philosophical point of view. Discourses that organise particular fields of knowledge and power.P.323 E.B. Silva.

Michel Foucault is one of the most influential modern day philosophers in the world; he was born in France and wrote many philosophical books, and gave lectures throughout the world. Foucault was best known as a postmodernist philosopher, as his work dealt with government structure, countless institutions, society and sexuality. These findings were driven with the consideration of how knowledge and power were employed, in sync with one another. However, Michel Foucault’s main emphasis was on the division of how power impacted society, more specifically within the prison system, hospitals and schools. Throughout this essay, I will explain how Michel Foucault examines

My presentation enhanced my knowledge of Foucault and his theory, and raised more questions than answers, which were helped by discussion in the seminar. The importance of rereading these key critical theories and explaining them in my own words was highlighted by this presentation, as doing so was fundamental to my understanding. Researching further for the presentation was also indicative of the further research needed for other theories across the module in order to aid my understanding.

Foucault's work is to be situated in a context of changes in methods of historical science. The method by which the story is to reconstruct the mode makes us familiar with the past. Foucault work was not to seek to reconstruct a history of marginality that

Foucault and Freud have different views on what is needed to keep a civilization from going extinct. For Foucault, the presence of a panopticon in a society will ensure discipline and the power needed for a civilization to continue. On the other hand, Freud believes a panopticon will help build a strong civilization, but later will be its own destruction. Although Foucault and Freud differ in their views of what the effect the panopticon will bring, both agree that the panopticon is needed in order to enforce social control and discipline in a civilization.

I understand power as a mountain range where the summit reaches beyond cloud cover. Below the clouds are everything Foucault’s power ideology reigns over and above the cloud cover Hobbes holds dominance. With that being said I can related my idea of power to a combination of Foucault and Hobbe’s notion of power.

The French philosopher Michel Foucault was best known for pioneering the ‘historian system’ of thought within the field of philosophy (Agamben G 2012). Foucault’s contribution to the philosophical community is his way of thinking. He worked on viewing social phenomena in a historical context focusing on the changes made throughout history. He also published a broad material of text on his views.

Michel Foucault (birth name Paul-Michel Foucault) was born on October 15, 1926 in Politiers, France. Both his father and grandfather were working in the medical field and his mother was a major part of his education. The Foucault Society wrote that “Foucault emerged as a brilliant young thinker while studying philosophy with the distinguished Maurice Merleau-Ponty” (The Foucault Society). After getting his diploma in 1952 he held a teaching position at the universities of Uppsala, Warsaw, and Hamburg for teaching French. Throughout his life he publish many different books about multiple topics. One book is Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison which was published in 1975. After reading this work I can say that I agree with Foucault’s idea of organizing students because it could help the students who need it and will let the teachers have an easier time making a lesson plan. It is also a good idea because it will solve the problem of a disorganized classroom.

Masyarakat yang terdiri dari orang-orang kebanyakan tidak mengerti apa orang-orang filem ingin sampaikan untuk mereka dan kepada siapa filem ingin dituju dan ditonton? Filem komersial yang sepatutnya memenuhi citarasa penonton menjadi sebuah filem yang menghampakan penonton . Mana tidaknya, sememangnya filem boleh mengaut keuntungan hasil daripada kutipan penonton tetapi nasib penonton ini dianiayai oleh helah-helah dan janji-janji istimewa orang-orang filem untuk mengatakan filem ini bagus tetapi sebaliknya semua orang sudah tahu dan ini seakan menguntungkan industri tetapi tergadainya maruah dan kehormatan kerana tiada kredibilti filem yang berkualiti. Hal inilah yang membuatkan industri filem negara tidak berkembang pesat.
